 We’re currently building Scratch using [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/) and [SCSS](http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html). Here are some resources to help you get acquainted with how we’re working on the Scratch codebase:

 ### Before Getting Started
 * Make sure you have node (v4.2 or higher) and npm [installed](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node)
+We use npm (Node Package Manager) to maintain and update packages required to build the site.

+### Update Packages
+It's important to make sure that all of the dependencies are up to date because the scratch-www code only works with specific versions of the dependencies. You can update the packages by running this command:
 
-### To Build
 ```bash
 npm install

+### To Build
+To compile the source code into HTML and JavaScript bundles browsers can read, run this command:
